Born in beautiful Vancouver, Canada, Philip graduated from Sheridan College's Classical Animation program in the summer of 1993. By the beginning of 1994, Philip was working for Industrial Light and Magic as a CG animator on the project "Casper". In 1999, after nearly seven years and working on such projects as "Jumanji", "Flubber" and "Star Wars, Episode One", Philip left ILM to work at c.o.r.e. digital pictures on the Gemini Award winning animation series "Angela Anaconda". By 2004, Philip had worked on projects ranging from "Santa Claus 2", "Need for Speed: Underground", "Modigliani" and "Das Gespenst von Canterville". Philip was then Animation Director/Supervisor at Styles and Stories in Berlin, Germany, developing children's television series and CG feature films. In 2007, Philip dabbled back into video games at PseudoInteractive and then made a brief 3-month stint into New Delhi, India, teaching computer animation at the joint venture of Centennial College of Canada and Maharishi Group-owned Picasso Animation. Over three years later, he is more surprised than anyone to be there still as Academic Head and Lead Professor-India.
